Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has broken the Japanese record for a Wednesday opening ever.

TOKYO — “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” bowed in Japan on Wednesday with $3.57 million on 840 screens — besting “War of the Worlds” for the biggest-ever Wednesday opening.

This number was particularly impressive since Wednesday is Ladies Day at Japanese theaters, meaning women pay 1,000 yen ($10.69) for an adult admission, compared with the standard price of $19.24. Women account for the bulk of the “Potter” aud in Japan.

Women pay less on Wednesdays in Japan? That’s awesome, now there is a culture that showss appreciation for females! This movie is raking in the cash this weekend.
